His Go is a little disingenuous. This (https://gist.github.com/EricLagerg/105431503d32f18d239b) is almost as short as his D code, and functions the same.

It's almost as if, like most people who write articles complaining about Go's lack of "expressiveness" and generics, he took a cursory look at the language, wrote some naive examples that supported his point, and squeezed out a blog post.

From the very first line of the article:

>Over the course of the past few months I’ve been using Go to implement a proof of concept program in my spare time.

It's almost as if, like most people who post on Hacker News, you took a cursory look at the title, wrote some inane comment that supported your point, and squeezed out a reply.
